One of the things I love about Jersey City is that there's something for everyone, especially in the culinary world.

Of course, there's Hudson Restaurant Week which started earlier this week and will continue through next week. Restaurants all throughout Hudson County are offering special prix-fixe meals for you to enjoy.

It may be freezing outside, but there's still plenty to do, eat, and drink! Here are some of the best bets coming up:

Satis Bistro is holding a "Winter Wine Dinner" on Wednesday, January 21st. It begins at 7:30 pm and there will be six delicious-sounding tastings paired with wines presented by Cool Vines, Kermit Lynch, & IPO Wines.

(view from right in front of Taphaus)
Walking into Taphaus for the first time, I immediately fired off a text to my friends saying "Oh god, this is my nightmare." But once I walked in another 4 feet or so, past the large crowd of overgrown frat boys concentrating on getting hammered, I began to experience an entirely different Taphaus - more beer garden then club and one I liked much better.

While waiting, I sat next to a middle-aged couple at the bar there to relax, then later had dinner a table away from a small group of women in their early twenties celebrating a birthday and amongst several other various groups of friends and dates. Luckily, Taphaus is large enough to accommodate a hugely mixed crowd successfully. With its long bar, communal seating, and smaller tables, there's a place for everyone to hang out and it's a nice change of pace from most Jersey City drinking establishments that tend to draw one type of crowd.
